Crypto poll and who is riding the crazy train!

I want to now explain that I didn't just put this poll here for no reason.

My daughter, who is a college tutor, asked her classes the same question. Obviously the people in the college are (Probably) much younger than the average age of the people who took part in this, and I can virtually guarantee that those who posted a "Yes", "Maybe" or "No answer" vote are probably younger than most of those who voted "No".

If you are interested in Crypto, I think you will remain so regardless of what others think. For those of you interested in the college vote:

84% Had invested in Crypto (Or had used it at some time in the past), 10% Possibly would in the future, 5% Were not interested until the technology was more proven and the last 1% did not feel that the technology would remain in place (These figures are rounded up/down)

Out of the 84% that had invested in Crypto ,74% could produce a smartphone with an electronic wallet and a QR code for accepting and transferring.

Right, I am off back to my Wang Terminal to produce one of them thar Emailey thingys!

Edit: Just to also add that she is an IT tutor so the results maybe slightly biased towards technology.

I wonder if the poll was a reflection of the market, or an attempt at emulating P2P - FFF needed open and shut in less than a day  . I had just noticed and was about to vote......

18 votes is pretty insignificant even in forum terms - of course more votes may have left the proportional result unchanged, but who knows. Perhaps you were aiming for a class size of random, first to the post, members?

I think the poll was probably a fair reflection of THIS FORUM but not necessarily the market. Sorry that you didn't get to vote, but this was just a little thing that jumped at me after a conversation with my daughter (I never even knew she was into things like Crypto?? )

Of course you are correct, 18 votes is fairly insignificant in terms of the forum, but with over 150 page views (Not sure how many are repeat views and not individual) there seems to be a fair amount of contempt for the subject of Crypto on this forum.

My point was not to get an exact figure, but more to get a feel of how people view Crypto. With so many people looking at the thread and then not voting (I was watching the page views increase in the first hour or so) Crypto appears to be a fairly contemptible subject.

I will do another poll, but this time I will incorporate age (If people don't mind giving that information!)

I looked at the poll but decided not to vote because none of the options were representative of my opinion.  The options were a little emotive for my liking.  No criticism is intended it's just it didn't suit me and perhaps that's how other people saw it too?  I get the impression that most who frequent these parts are financially open minded but remember this is a P2P forum not a hardcore alternative investment forum.

I take your point on the options were a little narrow, but to be honest, it wasn't a Gallop poll and was just for a little insight by myself into peoples take on it. But, yes, I can see how people would be in between the answers that were posted.

But............................ I didn't post the question on a particular P2P forum. say LY, MT, FC etc. and as such given the title and the fact that it was placed in the general chat area, anyone that opened and looked at the post would probably have had a view on the subject one way or another. Maybe they didn't like answering in a tongue in cheek way as the answers were worded.
